Definitions
- the invention relates to an optical sensor for detecting the light intensity of combustion processes in a combustion chamber.
- Optical sensors are used in combustion engines, for example in gasoline engines or diesel engines, to examine the combustion.
- the temporal recording of the light intensity in a combustion chamber provides important data as boundary conditions for computer models, since the temperature can be inferred from the light intensity.
- the soot concentration in the combustion chamber can be inferred when determining the light intensity. Due to the increasingly strict regulations of exhaust gas legislation, great efforts are being made to reduce the formation of soot during combustion in engines. Optical sensors provide valuable data for these developments.
- optical sensors which have a detection angle of up to 130 ° and such a small diameter that they can be installed in a spark plug or glow plug.
- the object of the present invention is to describe an optical sensor for detecting combustion processes in a combustion chamber, which is not impaired by soot deposits on the side facing the combustion chamber.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an optical sensor according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of a sensor tip of an optical sensor according to the invention
- This sensor 1 shows an optical sensor 1.
- This sensor 1 has one or more lenses 2 on the side facing the combustion chamber 7.
- the light incident through the lenses 2 is passed on by means of a light guide running in the center of the sensor 1 and then processed for evaluation.
- the foremost surface of the lens 2 of the sensor 1 is soiled during a measurement by soot from the combustion chamber 7.
- This exemplary embodiment according to the invention has a heater 4 at the tip of the sensor 1, in the area of the foremost lens 2.
- the invention consists in that the sensor tip can be heated by means of this heater 4 to a temperature at which the soot is burned on the foremost lens 2. As a result, the sensor 1 can remain clean and functional for the entire desired measuring period.
- the heater 4 consists of a heating coil.
- a temperature sensor 6 attached to sensor 1 is used for temperature control.
- FIG. 2 shows the tip of an exemplary embodiment according to the invention of an optical sensor 1 with lenses 2 and with the subsequent light guide 3.
- the invention described here can also be used with other optical sensors. This figure is not intended to be limiting.
- the heating wire 4 was wound several times around the lenses 2. Windings between 1 and 8 turns, in particular 2 to 4 turns, are preferred. A heating wire 4 with a cross section between 0.25 and 1 mm is preferably used.
- the power with which the heating wire 4 is heated is preferably between 10 and 70 watts, in particular between 15 and 40 watts.
- the heater 4 is brought to the desired temperature before use of a measurement, which is necessary to keep the surface of the foremost lens 2 always clean.
- the temperature required for this is about 400 ° C, preferably about 600 ° C at the sensor tip. Soot, which would settle on the surface of the foremost lens 2, is immediately burned at these temperatures.
- the heating system ensures a clean lens 2 during the entire measurement and therefore reliable measurements in this regard.
- the required heating can also be generated by supplying energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. This energy can be generated by a laser, for example.
- the light can be directed onto the lens via the light guide 3. Deposits on the lens 2 absorb the incident energy and are burned as a result.
- One difference of this arrangement is that the heater cannot be in operation during the measurement. The measurement must therefore be interrupted and cleaned again after sooting again.
- lines or channels can be provided next to the lenses, which are filled with a fluid.
- This fluid is heated to the desired temperature in a suitable manner and brought to the sensor tip in lines or channels provided for this purpose. The release of heat in this area of the sensor tip in turn causes the soot to be burned on the foremost lens.
- the advantage of heating the sensor tip is that the measurement can be carried out at any operating point, irrespective of the degree of sooting, especially in the case of diesel engine combustion. Another advantage is that no complex calibration has to be carried out and that the sensor does not have to be removed.
